What you see is what you get……. birds, animals, and all sorts of things, but remember; Work for a cause, not for applause. Live life to express, not to impress. Don't strive to make your presence noticed, just make your absence felt. .

That must have been a BEAUTIFUL DAY!!! I have never been on a boat except for a water ferry 2 times… pretty sad but I’m from IOWA were land locked! I will make it a priority to get out on Lake Michigan now that we live here!

Very well done, Bulldog. Vis a vis your comment to Colonialist – isn’t it wonderful to discover what some shots contain. But you REALLY scored on this one. Love it…I saw gold on black waves at sundown on our west coast years ago. I wrote a poem about it, but didn’t have a camera.

In South Africa we tend to travel long distances for the smallest of reasons… we complain like hell about fuel prices but we still do it…lol… I have driven down for two nights just to have a friend check on one of the modules of our program… seems like madness but we do it without thinking…

Mid winter… I took so many pictures before the sun rise when the sky had that good orange hue of winter, which became a bright yellow as can be seen in the one photo as the sun hit the horizon.. I think the angle I was at to the boats and the sun gave this brilliant gold colour… it did not last long as the sun got higher.. but while it was there the camera took what it could… some of the photos showed up very dark, I think from the angle of the boat and spray… but these just astounded me when I downloaded the photos…
